Hi.
I don't know if this is still active, but I'm gonna try...
I'd like to use mpv with my freevo-1 box. But, while mplayer2 kept
compatibility, mpv doesn't, and most of the options don't work, so freevo
and mpv don't get along.
I've tried to remove things in mplayer.py, but now I'm stuck. And for some
reason, I don't get logs any more so I can't tell what is failing now.
Is anyone using freevo1+mpv? Should I stick with mplayer?
thanks

I play with 2.0, but if someone has a patch for 1.9 I will add it to github.

Just one small comment: to keep up-to-date without downloading the
master over and over, install git and clone all needed repositories.
After that a simple 'git pull' will give you the updates.

Hi, thanks Dischi,
This is a little manual for users like me who just want to install and
test freevo2.
The manual is in html, with 3 images. To see this manual, put all the
attachments together into a folder and launch the html file.
I had to install "libclutter-gst-2.0-dev" package in order to get
kaa-candy-master compiled.
I've noticed that config file is not a python file. Next step is
configure and have a look to the new "look". (....and also try the
android remote, of course ;)
Best regards.

Hi,
yes, the list of dependencies is not short. Maybe each package should
write its dependencies down somewhere.
A small note:
tvserver-master is not used. I played with tvheadend as TV backend.
kaa-epg-master is also not needed right now (TV backend broken)
kaa-popcorn-master is also not needed, the player is in kaa.candy
kaa-display is only used for the mplayer video backend. No idea if this
is still working, gstreamer works well for me. So you also do not need it.
It should also work without the clutter-dev packages. There are gir
packages in Ubuntu.
But you have it running. If you have an android phone, activate the
webserver and the jsonrpc plugin and download yatse. Autodetection would
work, but if you add the data manually you have a nice remote.

Life is complex, it has a real part and an imaginary part.

Hi, this time I get it working. I think that I didn't know what
packages should download in order to install (or compile or whatever)
the program. On the other hand, I don't know if what I'm doing is right
or it is a complete disaster. XDD
I have attached the history (html file) and some screenshots. Freevo2
looks real fresh!.

Let me try again. I'll document step by step how ( I ) to setup a
freevo2 installation, so we can have a guide to perform a desktop
installation.
I'm talking about to install a fresh ubuntu 14.10, x64 on a virtual
machine, and setup freevo2.
I only a have a little knowledge on how to install software in linux
(basically by reading "readme" files), so please be patient.
Best regards.

What is the problem? Commands and Games are not working yet, but the
Video, Music, Photo stuff does and is real fun with web metadata and an
android XBMC remote.

Thanks Liz,
Dan, I have my freevo 1,9 running on a ubuntu 12.04 x32. (on a Physical
machine) (3Gb ram)
I only use this features:
- Browse movies, (you-tube and apple Trailers works, but since i
have a smart tv they are almost dead)
- Browse music, Album-tree, web-radio
- Browse photos (I miss a photo tag browser, something as Album-tree)
- News (since I have a smartphone I do not use it)
- Commands (very, very useful)
- Games & Emulators (love them)
- (joystick support works)
. (I've never had a TV card, so I don't know if TV-plugin works)
I also run on this machine:
- Rygel (for DLNA media spreading on my lan)
- Transmission
- SSH
- Remote Desktop
I tryed to setup a freevo2 on a virtual machine, but I couldn't get it
to work.
I know this system is more than 2 years old but this machine has a lots
of hours on configuration and it works.
¿has anybody a freevo 1.9 on an later system? I know that some day I'll
also have to upgrade my system too.
Best regards.

I upgraded yesterday and broke the mplayer install. Mplayer doesn't
come from Debian anymore
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758543#58
and the result has been my config file got wiped.
I used mplayer to record from my hdhomerun tv, so without
the /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf.local nothing happens.
Just a warning.....

Hi,
as I said, Freevo is only sleeping and not dead. :)
I played with XBMC some weeks ago and while I still prefer Freevo over
XBMC I kind of miss a good Android remote control. My idea was to write
one, but there are apps for XBMC out there looking better than anything
I could do.
Therefore, I added jsonrpc support for Freevo 2.0 to make look Freevo
like XBMC for these remotes. The jsonrpc plugin was just pushed to github.
Limitations:
- Only tested with yatse on Android
- Supports basic navigation
- Only the video player is detected as activate player
- Only the TV Show database works
kaa.webmetadata is required to get information and images.

Dischi

Hi,
in case someone wants to play with Freevo 2.0, I just made a small
update to kaa.candy to make it work with the current version of
clutter-gst and gstreamer. The file is gstreamer2.py in kaa.candy. It is
not finished (e.g. seeking does not work) but it is a start. This plugin
should also support DVD playback in the future.
Like always: patches welcome.

Dischi

Okay, i'm not an expert by any means, indeed I only enrolled on this
list recently, but due to the lack of other replies and an idea that
did occur to me, I shall put my head in the lions mouth and venture
forth with a possible solution:
Might it be the config of the video player software? I use Xine, and
has never exhibited the behaviour you describe. But I've read others
use mplayer or VLC or whatever. Might the feature you've been using be
part of that config instead of in the freevo config itself? Especially
since it sounds like you've re-installed so might you be now using a
different player? I'm guessing, but y'know ... if it helps.
It's just an idea, apologies if I broke the silence.

Hello.
Is the list still working, at user level?
Well, I have wanted to ask something for a long time, and although it might
be late, I'm going to.
My question is about bookmarks when watching videos. When I started using
freevo, if I stopped a video, it resumed about ten seconds earlier that
point. Or I could press rec and have one or several bookmarks for later.
Such an useful feature. But now it's gone. I didn't realize when this was
removed.
The question is: is this feature really removed, or is there a way to
enable/disable it? I'm using the latest version and searched through the
config file. But I don't think I've missed it.
thanks
Alberto
